Are You Really Required to Drink Organic Coffee? | Inspire CommerceIf you enjoy coffee, chances are you have come across the debate of “do I need organic coffee”. But is making the switch really necessary? One major distinction between organic and non-organic beans lies in how they’re farmed; with organic coffee growing without pesticides or chemicals; creating healthier coffee that also tastes better!

Coffee plants should ideally be grown under shaded conditions to avoid receiving too much sun exposure; otherwise they risk burning and producing bitter tasting coffee beans. The shady environment provides a haven for birds and other creatures to nest, so they can help control bugs that eat up coffee plants. Non-organic coffee farmers use pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers in order to increase yield, keeping bugs away from their crops and harming both human health and the planet. Unfortunately, these chemicals often run off into nearby water sources or soil sources causing harm both ecologically and to human health – with pesticides possibly ending up in drinking water that people drink and possibly causing diseases in those who regularly drink from it.

Organic coffee is grown without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers, providing a healthier environment and soil while still producing delicious beans with an irresistibly rich taste that cannot be replicated with non-organic alternatives.

Many coffee farms located in rural areas rely heavily on income generated from local residents for support. By switching to organic farming practices, farmers can better support the community and ensure they can take care of their families without incurring unnecessary financial stress. Organic farming also benefits both soil health and local wildlife populations compared with non-organic methods that involve spraying pesticides directly onto crops that can harm animals, insects and humans before spreading poisonous chemicals through waterways and soil into your drinking water, leading to illness and even death – some of these toxins can find their way into our drinking waterways and soil before eventually making its way into your cup o’joe.

Organic coffee has been shown to be healthier than its non-organic counterpart, boasting more antioxidants and lower caffeine levels. A study found that those who consumed four cups per day of organic coffee had a 40% reduced risk of depression compared to those who didn’t drink any. So if you love coffee, organic might just be worth switching for! Just remember not to add too much sugar, cream or other extras that could offset its benefits! Additionally, opt for light roasts as these will be less likely to burn and turn bitter as quickly compared with dark roasts which take longer.
